Abstract
An MTJ structure having vertical magnetic anisotropy is provided. The MTJ structure having vertical magnetic anisotropy can comprise: a substrate; an artificial antiferromagnetic layer located on the substrate; a buffer layer located on the artificial antiferromagnetic layer, and including W or an alloy containing W; a first ferromagnetic layer located on the buffer layer, and having vertical magnetic anisotropy; a tunneling barrier layer located on the first ferromagnetic layer; and a second ferromagnetic layer located on the tunneling barrier layer, and having vertical magnetic anisotropy. Accordingly, in the application of bonding the artificial antiferromagnetic layer with a CoFeB/MgO/CoFeB structure, the MTJ structure having improved thermal stability at high temperature can be provided by using the buffer layer therebetween.
